If you’re dreaming of a seamless, joy-filled beach day where every family member finds their flow, this Surfana Family Camp Itinerary from Wake-Up to Campfire is your playbook. Set on the section of Camping de Lakens directly behind the final dune—the spot closest to the sea—Surfana Family Camp blends a fully catered family vibe with surfing (or not), live music, vegetarian and vegan food-trucks, creative workshops, and relaxing moments in nature. Below you’ll find a complete, practical blueprint to help you picture—and plan—an unforgettable day.

Why Surfana Family Camp works for every family

Surfana Family Camp is designed so families can focus on fun while everything else stays effortless.

• Closest to the sea: The camp sits on the part of Camping de Lakens directly behind the last dune; the beach is about 100 steps away.
• Surf or don’t—your choice: You don’t need any surfing experience to join; the camp welcomes all.
• Fully catered comfort: Vegetarian and vegan food-trucks keep everyone happily fed throughout your stay.
• Live performances: Expect an uplifting atmosphere with musicians and DJs.
• Creative and mindful: Crafting workshops and spiritual sessions add a playful and restorative balance to active beach time.
• Connected and convenient: Wi‑Fi is available, and the on‑site SPAR Supermarket has everyday essentials.

Beyond Surfana, Camping de Lakens brings even more to your day:

• Wellness Dome with sauna, massage, beauty, and yoga sessions.
• Gym access you can always use and bootcamps to keep energy high.
• Family extras: A full recreation program, the kids’ favorite Zep de Zeemeeuw, and a large playground beside Restaurant Gestrand.
• New and unique: Dunegolf—a surprising mix of minigolf and playful challenges right in the dunes.

Morning: Wake up in the dunes and choose your start

Greet the day with sand between your toes and the sea just a short stroll away.

• Beach wake-up: Walk over the dune and breathe in the sea air. With the shoreline a single dune away, the day starts naturally active.
• Surf (or not): If the waves call you, this is the moment. If they don’t, you’re still in the right place—Surfana Family Camp is built for non-surfers too, from creative crafting to chill family time on the sand.
• Stretch or sweat: Prefer to ease in? Flow through yoga or a light bootcamp session. The Wellness Dome offers yoga, massage, beauty, and sauna, and the gym is open for use whenever you’re ready.
• Kid time: Encourage little explorers to join Zep de Zeemeeuw activities or play in the dunes; the recreation program keeps family energy aligned.
• Fuel up: Enjoy the camp’s fully catered setup with vegetarian and vegan food‑trucks. Need extras or snacks? The SPAR Supermarket on-site has you covered.

Midday: Creative play, Dunegolf, and dune-lounge

As the sun climbs, rotate between activity and ease to keep the day fresh for every age.

• Hands-on creativity: Drop into crafting workshops that channel beach treasures and imagination.
• Try Dunegolf: New at Camping de Lakens, Dunegolf blends minigolf fun with playful dune-side challenges—great for mixed ages.
• Wellness break: Press pause with a sauna session or book a massage or beauty treatment in the Wellness Dome.
• Easy lunch: Keep it simple at the vegetarian/vegan food‑trucks, or head to Restaurant Gestrand for a relaxed meal in the middle of the dunes. The large playground beside the terrace makes it effortless for adults to unwind while kids roam.

Afternoon: Watersport bursts and nature-side exploring

Afternoons are perfect for a second wind—one more watersport burst or a nature-leaning wander.

• Back to the sea: Pick a watersport session or simply swim and play by the shore—everything is steps away.
• Family fitness: Drop by the gym for a short circuit or join a bootcamp to keep momentum high.
• Playground and programs: Let kids dive back into the recreation program or dune play so parents can enjoy a quiet coffee.
• Optional dune experience (seasonal): If you’re visiting between 1 September and 1 March, consider the Wisentenpad—a 3‑km walking route through the bison area where you can walk independently or join a ranger-guided tour.

Evening: Music, food-trucks, and dune-sunset vibes

Lean into the camp’s signature atmosphere as the day winds down.

• Live performances: Enjoy musicians and DJs that bring a warm, communal rhythm to the evening.
• Plant‑forward eats: Refuel at the vegetarian and vegan food‑trucks—easy, tasty, and family-friendly.
• Dune-side downtime: Settle into conversation, stargazing, and the gentle soundtrack of the sea. For a change of scene, the dune‑side terrace at Restaurant Gestrand keeps sightlines on the adjacent playground.
